Gooooood morning from a nice 62°F New Jersey!! Ugh, I am so so glad Fall is finally here. I know the majority of you probably like Summer the best but I am so cranky when i am hot and sweaty lol

Y’all aren’t gonna believe this, or maybe you will bc you know me well now, but on Monday, I woke up feeling like crap. I went to urgent care and ya girl had the flu. THE FLU. I’ve never had the flu in my entire life. Bronchitis, yes. Upper respiratory infections, all the time. But the flu?? Nope. I was so sick, I called out of work Monday and Tuesday and slept and rested all day. My goodness.

Anywayyyy, happy spooky season!! Yay I love October, the crisp cool air, Halloween decorations, and just the feeling of magic all around. Do you guys have any favorite spooky season movies?? Mine is Hocus Pocus, a classic. And to me, only the first one exists 😅

My boy Knox came out with a new album Friday and he doesn’t miss EVER!!! So so good.

Good afternoon from New Jersey my friends!! I say this every week and I mean it every week. One day, I WILL catch up to all the comments. I was sick until this past Friday and had plans both days. I’m trying to use today to recover if I can, even though I still have other things to do 😭 I really do miss you guys and talking about music and life!

After barely moving for a week bc I was sick, going out Friday and Saturday all day put my body in pain. Man, I miss when I was in my 20’s and could go to 5 concerts in 3 days and go to work on Monday bright eyed and bushy tailed with no pain haha but I’m hoping life slows down soon bc I’m exhaaaausted! I hope you guys are doing so well and are going to concerts, blasting your favorite music, discovering awesome new fun music, and are doing all of your favorite things!

I can’t waaaaait for Fall weather, spooky season and everything that comes with it and after that! Bring on hoodie weather :)

Hello my friends!

I’m laying in bed with an upper respiratory infection, sighing because I say every week I’m going to try to catch up, and every week, time flies by and I fail you guys againnnnnnn 😭

If my head stops pounding, I’ll try to respond today to this post! Ugh I miss you guys! August is almost over and I’m very much looking forward to the cooler air and wearing hoodies again (please don’t hate me, summer lovers haha) Hope you are all doing amazing!!

This chart should not come as a surprise to anyone ever LOL and I heard the new Jonas Brothers album may go in the pop punk direction and I’ll be SO STOKED if that’s true!!

Hello my good friends!!

We did it!! The move was yesterday, and I’m happy, exhausted, and relieved it went smoothly. I’ve been sleeping on and off all day, bc moving is such demanding physical work! I don’t know how professional movers do it, but I salute them.

I should be able to start the long process of catching up on comments in the next few days and I’m so excited to talk to you guys and catch up! Tell me what’s been going on! What’s new? Exciting? I want to know everything!

Bc I’ve been so busy, I’ve barely listened to music and my chart originally only filled out to 14 boxes so I listened to some more to fill it out. Nothing surprising on my chart at all LOL

Hello my friends!!

Ugh, I had every single intention to respond last week, and it was in the midst of the majority of helping my friend pack up her apartment, and I’ve been passing out after I get home. I know I have a few weeks left of summer so I’m hoping after next week, I can knuckle down and get back to you guys!!

I miss you guys so much, I miss music, and I hope life and work get a little less hectic soon!! I hope you’re all doing so well and kicking life in the ass! And as always DMs are open and I’ll respond ASAP. Any new music you’re looking forward to coming out or any concerts you’re going to soon??

Hello my friends!!

I’m so sorry this is so late - I realized about 10 minutes to midnight that I never posted my 5x5 and kindly requested yours, and I spiraled. I couldn’t get mine to download either, which was frustrating.

I don’t remember if I mentioned but I’m helping a friend move, so between that and work being insanely busy, I’ve been so behind on this / listening to music in general and I deeply apologize! I realized what I’m going to do is comment day of, and then work my way backwards. It’s taking too long to scroll to find which ones I haven’t done yet and I want an easier way for me to catch up.

I REALLY MISS TALKING TO YOU GUYS!!! Happy August! I cannot wait for this month to be over haha I’m so done with the heat and being hot and sweaty. Any fun plans this month??

My homies in Homebase are number one this week, I miss those dudes!! I can’t wait to see them rock out again, them and Cold Weather Kids are my boyfriend and I’s top two for sure!!

Hello my friends!!

It’s been a crazy week, and I came back today from Massachusetts, where I was visiting my boyfriend and celebrating his birthday early 🥰 we had a blast!! I am beyond exhausted though, I was stuck in traffic on Friday for 6 hours!

How’s everyone’s summer been?? It’s wild that it’s almost August, therefore almost Fall / Winter (thank goodness, bring on the cold!!)

I’m sorry again for being so behind on catching up on comments! I so appreciate anyone that still comments, I WILL get back to you!

Good evening from New Jersey, my friends!!

In case you’re wondering, the World Cup final is not far from me, and I am staying faaar away from MetLife Stadium, or the roads near it because the traffic is just wiiiild! Who did you root for??

I was on vacation last week with my best friend and her family and it was lovely! We went down the shore, and the temperature soared to over 100° F / 37° C and it was HOT. The pool was nice, the beach was not haha

Good afternoon my friends!!

Apologies for the late post; I went to this thing called “Nostalgia Con” this morning and met James Lafferty & Chad Michael Murray! If any of you guys are One Tree Hill fans, you know how awesome that is haha

Does anyone feel like this year is flying by? I blink and it’s already Sunday all the time, my goodness. My number one album this week is Julie & The Phantoms bc I will forever and always be upset Netflix cancelled the show. The music is FIRE, and the storyline so interesting! Ugh.

As always, I’m still working on catching up on previous posts but still very much enjoy when you guys comment your grids! It’s my favorite and you guys are awesome 🥺 I miss you guys! DM me if you guys ever just want to say hi

Any summer plans you guys have going on?? I’m headed to the beach next week; work has been so busy I’m looking forward to chillin.

Hello my friends,

I hope you had a wonderful week & weekend. It went entirely too fast and I’m sad it’s over. I spent time with my boyfriend and saw Toy Story 5, and Supergirl, both which were great!

Please know that I truly do miss talking to you guys and I’m so sorry that I’m so incredibly behind on responding to comments. Life has been busier than I can explain, but I promise I will get there by the end of the summer!

Listened to alot of Bad Bunny & Daddy Yankee this week, in addition to my usuals haha

Hello my friends! I hope you had a productive week, and relaxing weekend. It was pretty busy, and I am looking forward to having Friday off because of 4th of July. My brain needs a break.

For my US friends, any fun plans? For being the 250th year of “freedom”, I can only hope the future of this country is better.

For my international friends, hoping the upcoming week is peaceful and stress free!

Any new music you guys have discovered or old songs that you’ve rediscovered? Can’t wait to hear! For the first time since their debut album, I listened to 5SOS’s new record and was pleasantly surprised!

Helllooooo - last night, I caught up on another post from 2 months ago. I was happy to make some progress! Even tho here I am, posting another grid haha

Happy Father’s Day to all the real men out there who make sure they’re the best dad to their kiddos - biological or not - and hoping they have the best day!!

As always, my 5x5 should be a surprise to absolutely no one!! You can’t ever take the pop punk out of the girl haha Summer is in full swing, with the degrees being hot outside here in New Jersey, and I for one, cannot waaaaait until cooler weather in September / October, bc that’s when I really thrive outside! hahah until then, you can catch me anywhere the AC is 😂

Any fun summer plans? When is your guys’ next concert? Mine is Ariana Grande in July - I’ve never seen her!

Hello my friends!!!

It feels like time is speeding by, which honestly, I don’t mind because I’d like not to be sweating every day when I walk outside haha the only thing I hate is that I haven’t caught up with your guys comments yet but I WILL. My goal now to be more realistic is by the end of summer to be fully caught up and able to comment on that day’s comments 🤞🏻 I really miss talking to you guys!!!

I’ve been on a huge nostalgia kick, and not the emo kind but the 90s / boyband kind!! If I could get a Time Machine back to the 90’s, I’d go in a heartbeat. What’s something from your childhood you miss?

Hi my friends,

I apologize for the late post today, I fell down the stairs this morning and went to urgent care for an x-ray 💀 thankfully, it’s just a sprain and nothing worse but sheesh! What a day, and I have a splitting headache as well. I hope you guys are doing amazing!!

Happy 15th Year Anniversary to All Time Low’s “Dirty Work” - such an underrated and incredible album! I love my grid this week, it’s sooo good!!

I can’t believe it’s June already - this year is flying and it’s insane. Any summer plans??

Goooooooood morning from 57° F / 14° C New Jersey! I know people are unhappy with the weather, because it’s almost June and not hot on the weekends, buuuuuut I do not mind it. It has been hot when I walk the 15 blocks to work but it’s okay! I take a cold water bottle with me, and put on my favorite songs, call my boyfriend / family to pass the time, or an audiobook :) how’s the weather where you are?

I came down with a cold on Thursday but thankfully am mostly better. I’ve been resting and sleeping a lot! It’s been a nice break haha I am still working on commenting back on everyone’s 5x5’s from the last few months so keep a look out for my response if you at all commented on my posts in the past few months!! You guys are amazing and I appreciate you so much!

My grid, of course, shouldn’t be anyyyyy surprise to you guys. One day, it’s gonna be so different than what you’re used to, and it’s gonna shock everyone (if I can leave the early 2000’s LOL)

HI FRIENDS, I AM SO SORRY IM LATE.

I about jumped up and screamed when I realized the time and date. For the first time in a while, I haven’t been home all weekend, and time due to the long weekend is lost on me.

How are you guys?? For my US friends, are you doing anything this weekend? Here in Jersey, it’s been pouring the ENTIRE WEEKEND, and cold!! It’s crazy!! For my international friends, how was your week and weekend? Hoping you’re all doing well!

Work has been insane, I’ve been putting in OT hours, but I’m honestly loving my new role so much!! Nothing on this chart should come as a surprise for you. Been reeeeeally listening to ATL and CWK and Knox sooo much, and sprinkling in my other favs.

Hello my beautiful friends! Happy Sunday! And a very Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate! And a very, very huge hug to those who are carrying heavy feelings on this day. You’re loved and cared for and thought of.

What a busy week! I’m being trained on my new role, and I’ve been in so many meetings! But I’m so thankful for the support and the training so I can know exactly what I’m doing. I hope you guys are doing well!

I’m still slowly catching up on my past posts, and responding to your comments, so please keep being patient with me if you can! I miss and love you guys so so much!

Loving my grid this week - so many great albums on here!

Hello from finally sunny New Jersey! Shocking, I know, haha

This is a very weird and busy time in my life, so I sincerely apologize for being so absent. I’m slowly but surely getting through the older posts and comments. My 5x5 this week is classic albums from when I was a teenager and everything seemed better. This world is scary and hard right now. It’s okay if the only thing you do in a day is survive.

I really hope you guys are doing okay and are thriving and happy. You can always DM me if you’re having a hard time 💚

Hi my friends,

I feel insanely guilty and frustrated at myself for being so behind on your comments. I don’t blame any of you if you’re over my posts, because the beauty of it was that we could actually talk music. I know I said I was going to dedicate time last week to comment back and catch up, but as they say, I made plans and the universe laughed and now it’s Sunday again and I feel terrible. I am not just saying it when I say I do miss you guys. I found that using a computer was easier in commenting and responding so I will be doing that. Tomorrow I plan on getting to work earlier than usual, and starting from 4 weeks ago, commenting on everyone’s grid. I don’t care how long it takes me, rest assured I will be responding if you commented in the last month!

I truly do enjoy seeing what everyone has been listening to, and doing, and what’s going on. I miss you guys. This weekend, I went on an incredible date as a belated birthday gift, and finally got Yoshi in a McDonald’s happy meal, I’ve been trying for weeks 🥺😭 and got to see the new Mario movie which was soooo cute!

My 5x5 is a TON of Knox, All Time Low, and Cold Weather Kids - I made a playlist of just them and listened to it for a while this week.

Does anyone here love watching TV shows? I’m rewatching One Tree Hill, and goodness, I miss when TV shows were 22-24 episodes a season.
